Fat Elvis
Adri: It looks like Jimmy Neutron.
Raven: It looks like there’s a cupcake on top of a cupcake.
Justin: I think it’s just like a Hershey’s Kiss.
Adri: This looks like Dijonay from “The Proud Family.”
Raven: It’s very wet. That doesn’t sound good.
Justin: I taste banana in this one.
Adri: Mmm. This is my favorite already.
Raven: It reminds me of banana pudding.
Justin: There’s peanut butter and banana.
Raven: I like the cupcake, but not the frosting.
Peanut Butter Cup
Justin: The frosting intrigues me. (takes bite) This frosting is phenomenal. The actual cake is really good too.
Adri: I don’t really like peanut butter.
Raven: The peanut butter adds to it. I like the peanut butter.
Justin: With the chocolate, it’s good.
Adri: The peanut butter frosting is not as light and fluffy. It’s filling up my stomach really fast.
Red Velvet
Raven: The frosting’s like a cheesecake.
Justin: The cream cheese frosting is to die for.
Raven: It’s OK. I’m a red velvet snob, so it takes a lot to please me with red velvet.
Adri: I don’t like the word moist, but it’s moist.
Lemon Drop
Raven: I think I’m in love.
Justin: I love lemon stuff.
Adri: It tastes like those lemon Girl Scout cookies.
Justin: That garnish thing, that’s very lemony. I like it.
Adri: It’s like lemon gushy stuff. I’m a fan.
Raven: The only thing is that the cupcake isn’t lemony.
Chocolate Cream
Raven: It has filling, so that’s always wonderful. It was a nice surprise.
Adri: It’s really rich. It makes me thirsty.
Justin: I don’t really like a lot of chocolate but I like this frosting.
Adri: I need milk.
Chocoholic
Raven: It takes a while for you to taste the chocolate.
Adri: This wouldn’t curb my addiction.
Justin: As you keep eating the frosting, it tastes more chocolaty.
S’mores
Adri: It’s not very s’mores-y once you get rid of the graham cracker.
Justin: This just tastes like chocolate and vanilla.
Raven: I’m tasting a little banana in there. Don’t know why.
